Closure of Churches:
Measures tightened to curb spread of COVID-19
The Archdiocese of Montreal has advised all Montreal parishes, missions, and religious communities to close all places of worship, suspending gatherings for the celebration of Mass effective Saturday, January 9, 2021.
This follows Wednesday’s announcement by the Quebec government to return to stricter province-wide conditions of confinement, beginning January 9 through to February 8, 2021. Funerals will be permitted, but limited to a maximum of 25 people in attendance.
Online Masses are permitted exclusively.
For more details on how the new measures will affect other areas of parish and sacramental life, ministries and services, you may consult the diocesan website for updates.

In the Spirit of Christmas Giving:
Thank You
to all parishioners
for your goodwill and kindness in donating to our Advent Mass of Concern which will assist many of our less fortunate neighbours to purchase food and other necessities this Christmas
to the children and families in our “Be My Disciples” program
who despite pandemic restrictions, donated over 60 gifts and to “mom-elf” Ingrid Liebich and family who delivered the gifts to Share the Warmth which will allow needy parents to select Christmas gifts for their children this year.
to all of you who continue to bring in the non-perishable foods
that we send to St. Willibrord’s Foodbank to feed the needy- especially in this year which has been so difficult for so many.

Food Bank Donation
We have a new tradition in our parish to support the hungry on a more continuous basis. Over 860,000 Canadians visit food banks every month, with over 36% of the donations feeding hungry children.
During the COVID‑19 isolation, please leave your items in a bag at the door of the rectory. Donations will be delivered to St. Willibrord’s parish food bank.
